Dear Rich,
Unfortunately, we will no longer

Don't know but this may possibly be related to the recent tax changes in the UK. Pokerstars.fr and some other sites have just pulled out of the UK because they were going to be double-taxed heavily in both jurisdictions.

I knew carbon would kick us out when after this new regulation.

Can you transfer money over to another player on Carbon? I only have $18.

I don't think they do player transfers.

I'm also guessing they won't let us withdraw without depositing first. Min deposit $25.00. Not sure I like the idea of depositing into a poker room that is closing my account in 6 days.

Don't think we'll see this money again ! Any US players fancy some HU SNG (wink, wink).

Nah Rich, you can withdraw without depositing from there, but yeah the minimum withdrawal is $60 I think?

Okay, in that case maybe they'll let us withdraw with less than minimum as an exceptional circumstance ? I've messaged support to ask them if they'll do it.

I am not really bothered about the money or the fact they are kicking us out.

I just wanted someone to use that money.

I will ask support if they will transfer it over, if not I will tell them to give it to charity

I was under the impression that the UK had figured out OLP, What is with these new regs?

I got the email today, I had the grand total of $8 there. Went on to a cash table and dumped it so at least players got it and not carbon.

Big news for Carbon, I really don't care if you don't want me, I can play in many better places.

Do you think they would send it to charity if I asked them? If not I will play some cash games too and hopefully TU so I can withdraw. I have 6 days to make a grand, now that would be nice.

you could always play against other UK players (cough cough) and funds withdrawn and redistributed via skrill. you may have your account banned and funds seized though if caught.......erm big deterrent lol alternative is depositing enough to satisfy the min withdrawal. when i asked them they said there is no playthrough on deposits before withdrawal.Just gotta wait for my accounts to be id verified .....72 hours yeah ......just think how many people will be swamping carbon support to get the verification done so that they can withdraw.

This sounds like a plan, just don't rush the game and it could be done.

Yeah, got that one too :-)

I wonder if Full Flush, 888 or Black Chip have any plans ? - these are the other ones I have small bankrolls on ;-)

Hmmm, do you guys think there's a reason why I haven't got an email from Carbon? Is it just because I haven't got any funds in my account atm? I've deposited and withdrew so I think they should've sent me that email if I can't use their services again. I got an email about the UK thing from full tilt but not them.
I sure hope I can play there, I love their software and stuff, hopefully they just don't stop my rights! Fingers crossed!

yes, it might be because you haven't got any funds in there ?

however, it would be courteous to notify you, in case you were thinking of depositing in the next few days ? or maybe they wouldn't mind if you did ;-)

Yeah, other people who don't have funds also didn't get the message. That makes me believe that we can still play on the site on freerolls and things but not deposit/withdraw after the 30th.

re: Poker & UK players getting kicked off Carbon ?

Used to play Carbon all the time but when they adjusted the game buy ins, especially the sng's stopped playing as often and only played the odd mtt and didnt take them too seriously.

Anyway still had just over $6 in the br, got $5 of it free from Carbon to try to entice me back, didn't get the email.

So have entered into the CC buy in but won't be playing it, gl too all playing.

If you've got a remaining balance under withdrawal minimum.. Hit up a table and get it up so you can withdraw lol

Or have they suspended play already?

That sucks wish it didn't have to be this way. Hoefully someday everyone will be able to come back. Good luck to everyone. I could use the money, only have .90 cents lol But if you dump then our accounts will get locked out. Can't do that. donate it to a charity.

No, we can still play :-)

Minimum for a bank transfer is $500. Skrill is $50 but you have to deposit first minimum $25.

I don't want to deposit, so got to get my $30 up to $500 by next Tuesday ;-)
